JT McCormick is the Co-Founder of Book in a Box. Email him JT’s interview on the 1 Thing podcast Scaled software company, now a president and CEO of a publishing company, BookinaBox.com No motivational story of someone who stood by him. Pushed through a bad educational system that did not meet his needs. What I quickly learned…There is no geometry on a deposit slip. Mindset, choices, and hard work = success for me. Get up at 4 am. If there’s anything I don’t like in life, it’s up to me to change it. Where did these ideas come from? What would you tell a 10 year old JT? It’s not always what you tell a kid, but more what you show them. 3 of the greatest moments - marriage, birth of children, mentor at-risk youth. First time they got to see an office building. Connecting with kids - What’s wrong with this picture? And this? Shake hands with a firm handshake - when do we teach them this? Manners, a firm handshake, and other small things have served me very well in life. How is there not a life essentials class? Every school a subscription the Forbes 400. 3 avenues out of poverty: 1. Athlete 2. Rapper 3. Drug Dealer Nobody told me the fourth option: entrepreneur. If you are going to think, dream, or set goals Money does not bring happiness. Many children just don’t understand the ways of the world. If you lost it all, what would you do? Put in the time, put in the hard work now. Have your own personal excellence every single day.

This is a teaser for the Transformative Leadership Summit

  Be the One with Ryan Sheehy Transformative Principal 233 Social media: Work doesn’t always have to be done in the traditional space. Ryan Sheehy is an educator, speaker, author and Elementary Principal @HighlandsMDUSD, Professor at @stmarysca Lifelong Learner, Father, Husband, Author of Be The One For Kids. Following a principal that was not well received. Kids are running to us, not running away. I’m a culture guy, so I was excited for the opportunity. I look at everything as an opportunity. I’m a principal of action. Excited to build a culture around the idea of being in classrooms. There’s no reason for me to be stuck in my office. Work doesn’t always have to be done in the traditional space. Being in the classroom allows me to have those conversations. Locked down in meetings before and after school when teachers are available. Too often we think the problem is with the kids. Getting bogged down by teachers slow to change. Be the one for kids: Stories about Ryan’s educational experiences. Be the one who changes the dream. It’s ok to change the dream, but keep dreaming. How do you help kids understand that it is ok to have a different dream? Are your habits of today on par with your dreams of tomorrow? Kids can achieve anything. Set up your habits today to achieve your dream. It’s about the relationships. How to deal with so many different challenges that we face. The power of a strong PLN. We’re never standing stagnant. We want to always be improving. If education isn’t fun, who would want to be a teacher or a principal? How do you build powerful relationships? We talked about everything but school. Really getting to know each other. Taking the time to go off course. Put yourself in the problem areas so you can get to know the kids. You’ve got to take time to build relationships. How to be a transformative principal? Get yourself out there and sit down with each person on your campus and make sure they know you believe in them by trusting them and encouraging them! &nbsp Schedule a call with Jethro Are you feeling like you are always behind at school?
